Uniforms??? Our last CP pleaded with the company for white shirts. They said the blue shirts were part of our "brand"....whatever. I'm just sick and tired of pax coming up to me asking to change their seats. New shirt out next year. Will be lighter blue like Alaska's old shirts...more like Air Force blue. Again, don't care about the little stuff. Just need a union ASAP and a CBA to quickly follow.

I agree CBA is more important, but your uniforms are part of the brand... and that brand means you are the same as all employees. That is why your ramper/gate agent benefits suck.
This is a major issue with JB pilots. Management is trying to redefine the airline pilot profession with you guys. No longer is it legacy professional airline pilots, but the new pilot labor. Same deal at VA. The uniform is part of it. Everytime you put on that blue shirt its a win for management and a degradation for the profession.
If you don't think so, or never realized it, that means management has done a great job in getting you to believe one thing while the other is true.....

JB pilots... get your act together!!
